Sean Bean returns to his iconic role as Sharpe for a new adventure in India. The year is 1818. Lt. Col. Richard Sharpe and Sergeant Major Patrick Harper travel across India, escorting the beautiful Marie-Angelique Bonnet to meet her fiancé. But little does Sharpe know that the adventure has only just begun by inadvertently stumbling across a massive opium trafficking ring run by a traitorous officer from the East India Company.

See my review of Sharpe's Challenge. This episode is even weaker. Any similarity between this work and the work of Bernard Cornwell, beyond the names "Richard Sharpe" and "Patrick Harper" is purely illusory. It is the first Sharpe episode that I had difficulty sitting through.
